another Nice Dress Nellie sighting
I noticed that Nice Dress Nellie is seen a few times in The Sermon for Today (season 4 episode #100F). She is in the back of the church when Dr. Harrison Breen is preaching and later walks out with Tom Jacobs while Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee and Clara talk with Rev. Tucker and Dr. Breen. I checked the website and don't see that episode listed either.

Andy smoking and sich other things
Yes, pretty sure Andy and Don and probably most of them smoked back then. Also have read that Andy and some of the others were pretty good drinkers in their time. ( Never have heard that about Don though. ) It was a tv show and they weren't perfect. Yes, Aunt Bee and Andy didn't get along well in real life. More her aloofness than anything else I think. Would be interested to know if Mr. Schwamp has been seen in any other shows. Good question from yesteday. _ Climb to the top of the charts!

Andy's Smoking and Aunt Bee's Dissin'
ihey, I wondered if Andy Griffith really smoked? I saw him smoking on TAGS about 11 times. Could someone tell me? Also therte a rumor I heard that Andy And Francies Bavier did not get along. True or not? I gueuss rumors spread fast in Mayberry. Anyone else heard about this?/i b Yes, Andy really smoked, and what I read is that he gave it upi (at least on air--some photos suggest otherwise)/i after the Surgeon General's warnings appeared in the early 60's. I've also read that Frances Bavier didn't get along with Andy, or anyone else for that matter. Years after TAGS, Andy Griffith and Ron Howard went to her house, but she refused to meet with them. Before she died, however, she talked with Andy on the phone and sort of patched things up. Did I get the story right? /b ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Portrait of Betty Lynn
Message: 5 Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 21:40:20 -0500 From: Janet Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Portrait of Betty Lynn To: wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Robbie, I looked at those photos at the Surry Arts Council site, and I am interested in learning more about the painting of Betty Lynn that was unveiled at Mayberry Days. Can you or anyone else provide some information about that? I don't recall anyone mentioning anything about it. It looked beautiful, and the artist is obviously quite talented. Was it commissioned, or did the artist simply want to do it? What was Miss Lynn's reaction to it? Thanks, Thelma Lou (Janet) Hi Janet, Perhaps Allan and/or Jeff might know more about this, but Betty Lynn was the guest of honor for Mayberry Days and Grand Marshall for the parade. The portrait was presented to her as a complete surprise near the conclusion of the Mayor's Proclamation (the official start for Mayberry Days) at which she was also given her second key to the city. The name of the talented artist escapes me, but he sure got an appreciative kiss from our Thelma Lou! She was quite thrilled to be honored in her new hometown and gave a tearful thank you to all her fans. I believe the portrait will join a similar portrait of Andy downstairs at the Andy Griffith Playhouse for everyone to see. As Barn would say, It was BIG!!

Guitar Feedin'
How many guitars did Jimmy Lindsey have to feed? Was it three? Now Jimmy is great, and he was lucky to have hooked up w/Bobby Fleet. (and in turn, Fleet was lucky to have Jimmy join his band) ...but if Jimmy had joined Keevy Hazelton's group, then Jimmy could have increased his guitar family and fed them very well, and never worry about the repo man snagging his auto. Keevy Hazelton w/Jim Lindsey on lead guitar playing on the Ed Sullivan Show? I'd expect no less on a Sunday night. Woulda' been nice! Real nice!!, says Gomer.

Backin Mayberry
well, I am back in Mayberry. Time to make a few decisions about Aunt Emma's estate. For those who don't know my Great Uncle Warren Watson moved into Mayberry about 2-3 years ago now. He met and fell in love with Emma Brand and she left the house on the lake and moved into town to his house, using the lake house occasionally. Uncle Warren passed away shortly after the wedding leaving poor Aunt Emma a widow. She always suffered from poor health but this really brought her down. The kind people of Mayberry really rallied around her and her last years were happy ones. Now mama I have to decide whether we want to keep one of the houses as a vacation house or sell them both. And which one do we keep? I like the lake house so I can just walk down the hill to go fishing. Mama prefers the city house as it was her uncles. Today we're in the city house with Ms. Clara Edwards, Aunt Bee, Mrs. Rev. Tucker, and Thelma Lou sorting through the stuff and deciding what to keep, what to toss, and what to donate to the church's rummage sale. I know the lady's church league has chosen to send this money to their missionaries in Africa Asia so I hope they make a lot of money. Thelma Lou, having office experience, is a whiz at keeping us organized. She's written down lists of everything we inventory and whether it is to keep, throw in trash, donate, or undecided. Mr Foley gave us empty boxes from his store so we put things in in there and the large TV Boxes from Mr. Monroe will require a strong man to life if they get filled. too bad ol' Barn is in Raleigh with his cousin Virgil, but Aunt promises she can get Andy, Goober, Otis Campbell to assist us. While I was at Foley's store I was in line behind Bessie Conroy. I had no idea that her son Flip played football for the NY Giants. Good for him! Mayberry is some kinda proud! For lunch we had tuna sandwiches made by Aunt Bee and sweet tea made by Clara Edwards. Mrs. Tucker baked some little cakes that she says are the Rev's favorite for dessert, plus Thelma Lou's cashew fudge. yesterday while downtown I ran into a woman I could have sworn was Mrs. Lukens. you know she has the lingerie shop in town? I thanked her for the bed jacket she had Myra Koontz send over to my Aunt Emma when she had her last sickness. Turns out her name is Martha and her husband Emmett is a fix-it man. She Mrs. Lukens are twins, tho, hence my confusion. Oh, remember my last visit, when Mr. Masters was looking for someone to be in the musicale and Rafe Hollister wasn't available? I assumed he'd been caught moonshining but found out from the ladies that it was more serious than that. Seems Mrs. Hollister took real sick and he was staying with her at the Mt. Pilot Hospital. Nurse Peggy tried as did old doc Andrews and eventually Rafe, who doesn't see a need for doctors, convinced her to go in. Some kind of female trouble. Speaking of Nurse Peggy, I saw her downtown and she had the oddest marking on her wrist. I wondered what the red x stood for but politeness forbid me from asking. I saw where Opie had one, also. Curious. Spoke to Goober who'd gotten a letter from Gomer. he's in the marines don't ya know. says he has the friendliest drill Sgt. you'd ever want to meet. He Sgt. Carter are good buddies. Well I have family in the marines but none of them liked their Sgts. Gomer surely lucked out getting a nice one like that. Tonite mom I will have supper over to the diner. Hope poor old Olive is working. Last time I was in town her eldest had won that scholarship to nursing school over in Chapel Hill. I wonder how she's doing? I'll bet she's doing just fine but will ask Olive when we go for dinner. if she's not working Juanita'll know or Flora, that new waitress. haven't met her yet. better go for now. More closets to sort through. Marie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
